Books I Like;)

Really Bored As Of Right Now.... BUT I Wanna Share Some Of MY Favorite Books WIth You!?
(call me a nerd idc)

1. The Curious Case of the Dog in the night-time Mark Haddon

The story is written in the first-person perspective of Christopher John Francis Boone, a 15-year-old boy who describes himself as ‘a mathematician with some behavioral difficulties’ living in Swindon, Wiltshire. Although Christopher's condition within the autism spectrum is not stated explicitly within the novel, indeed, the words autism or Asperger's are not used by Christopher at all; the summary on the book's inside cover or back cover (depending on the edition) describes it as Asperger syndrome, high-functioning autism, or savant syndrome. In July 2009, Haddon stated on his blog that the book is not specifically about Asperger syndrome and that he is not an expert on the subject.
2. Father Fiction Donald Miller

The new content in the  book includes a chapter on how he met his father after thirty years of not hearing from him, a chapter on the pitfalls of self pity, a chapter on dating and what the opposite sex really finds attractive, and a chapter on how intentional friendships can keep you out of trouble and help you succeed.
Ultimately, Father Fiction is the most practical book I’ve ever read!
3. The house with a clock in its walls John ballairs
While Uncle Jonathan practiced funny and comfortable white magic, the original owner of the old house, Isaac Izard, had been an evil sorcerer. Isaac Izard had devised a plan for bringing about the end of the world. Somewhere in the walls of the house he had hidden a clock. Every night Lewis and Uncle Jonathan could hear it ticking -- sometimes loud, sometimes soft -- marking off the minutes until doomsday.
Lewis knew they had to find the clock before it was too late. Then he decided to dabble in a litte magic of his own, and their time almost ran out.
Cozy fireplaces, wacky magic, chocolate chip cookies, and terror are the ingredients John Bellairs has used to concoct this absorbing and original book. The suspense is heightened by Edward Gorey's delightfully spine-tingling illustrations.
